After rebirth, the regent refused to divorce

Chapter 142 Cut Weeds and Exterminate Roots (3)

In fact, it would be fine if the table was just overturned, but in such a tense situation, the three Chu Zhengyue brothers were all handsome and pleasant, with Chu Zhengyang's legs raised in the air and the two people beside him. For the elder brother who looked calm and calm, this scene reveals an extremely ridiculous contrast, which makes people laugh.

None of the Linjiang Wang family present could afford to offend, so no matter how funny the scene was, everyone tried their best to hold back, only Shen Jingnian couldn't hold back for a while, and let out a "puchi" laugh.

The temperature in the hall dropped a little more strangely.

Chu Zhengyang put his feet down in embarrassment, and his face immediately turned red.

He stretched out his thumb at Shen Jingnian and swiped viciously on the neck, saying silently: "You are dead."

Shen Jingnian raised his eyebrows at him needlessly.

The eunuch next to Emperor Suiyuan came in the morning to change tables for the three of them and serve a new table of wine and food. When Chu Zheng got up to avoid the maid serving the dishes, the clothes around his waist fluttered. His purse was revealed, and it was falling into the eyes of Princess Qianluo who had been staring at him.

Princess Qianluo was startled when she saw the purse.

This purse...

On the other side, after hearing the story, the empress saw the jade pendant again, and looked at the eunuch beside her.

The eunuch stepped forward and lifted Liu Muzhi's cuffs covering his waist, and he saw that Liu Muzhi's waist was really empty.

Empress Mingyao said: "Liu Qing, this thing is indeed something that is often worn next to you. Just now everyone has seen it. You don't have this jade pendant on your waist. This jade pendant is in the hands of the servant girl of the Shen family. What do you have? Have something to say?"

However, at this point, Liu Muzhi did not panic in the slightest, instead he said: "Your Majesty's words are true, I have nothing to say, but the fact that I didn't wear the jade pendant today is not because I gave the jade pendant to others as a witness, but because A few days ago, I gave a reward to the servants around me, if I want to come to today's banquet, my servants will definitely come wearing this jade pendant."

He gave a glance to the attendant behind him, and the attendant stood up, and really took the same jade pendant from his waist.

The two pieces of jade pendants are similar in quality, only differing in subtleties. If they are held in the hands alone, no one will be able to tell the difference.

Seeing this, Shen Jingnian couldn't help frowning slightly.

He and the proud Liu Muzhi looked at each other, and a thin layer of sweat could not help but ooze from the palms of their hands.

This person is really insidious!

No wonder he was so sure that he would not fall into the trap...

He really underestimated him.

He looked at Shen Qingyi worriedly, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, wondering if he would be able to retreat completely today.

However, Shen Qingyi didn't even frown, she just gave her brother a look, her expression remained calm, her brows and eyes were still peaceful.

Empress Ming Yao said: "You each have your own arguments, but these two jade pendants are similar in quality and color, so it is difficult to judge whether what you two said is true or not, how can you prove your own arguments?"

Liu Muzhi glanced at Shen Qingyi, cupped his hands first, and said: "Miss Shen's words are all nonsense. Anyone who has walked with this minister in Beijing almost knows that this minister is wearing this jade pendant next to him. A few days ago, Shen Qingyi The fifth girl from my family once sneaked into my house in the middle of the night intending to set fire to it and was caught by me. When she saw my jade pendant, she wrote down its appearance and intended to frame her. It is a master who is over a hundred years old, he is a descendant of Pingyang Yushenweng's family, this person is in Beijing at the moment, as long as he summons this master to come to identify him, he will know that what Mu Zhi said is true."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingyi suddenly said indifferently: "If this person is bought by Mr. Liu and bites me back in front of His Majesty, wouldn't it mean that you will just say what you say?"

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "I have never colluded with your Shen family's affairs, why would I do such indecent things? Miss Shen, don't use the wrong idea."

Shen Qingyi smiled inexplicably, and said: "I dare not, but this proposal was made by Mr. Liu himself, so don't rely on the methods behind my back again, that would be meaningless."

Liu Muzhi smiled and said, "Naturally."

Emperor Suiyuan gave the father-in-law beside him a glance, the father-in-law nodded, walked out of the hall, and arranged the order just now.

About half an hour later, an old man stepped into the door and kowtowed to the emperor and empress above, saying in his mouth: "The grass people kowtow to your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty, and your majesty!"

Emperor Suiyuan frowned slightly when he saw this person.

Although he saw that the old man was over a hundred years old, he did not show any timidity in the movement of prostration, and there was no defect in the movement of prostration, as if he had mastered the etiquette in the palace by heart.

I have never seen this old man in the palace.

Although a little suspicious, Emperor Suiyuan stretched his brows and said to the old man, "Let's get down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The old man stood up, but it was the shopkeeper of Minyuzhai.

With his fist in his chest, he respectfully said: "I don't know why His Majesty called the grassroots here."

Empress Mingyao said: "After hearing that the old man came from the Pingyang Jade God, I have heard that this Pingyang Jade God Weng's family has a unique skill, which is very interesting. No matter how similar the fake is, the descendants of the Weng family can tell the difference at a glance. , and the time of carving can be seen no matter how long it has been carved in my hands, I don’t know, is this statement true?”

The old man said: "It is indeed as your mother said."

Empress Mingyao gave a look to the female officer beside her, the female officer nodded and clapped her hands, and the two maids presented two jade seals.

Empress Mingyao said: "These two jade seals belonged to the former emperor. I heard that they were carved by the Yu clan. Later, your majesty searched all over the world for imitations, but they were accidentally mixed together. It is difficult to distinguish them. Help me identify, which one is true and which one is false?"

"Yes."

The old man nodded, and after scanning his eyes, he pointed to one of them and said, "This is the real jade seal of the previous dynasty. You only need to test it on paper to know whether it is true or not."

Empress Mingyao couldn't help nodding and laughing when she heard the words: "The reputation is really well-deserved. I wonder if I can ask the old man to appraise another item for this palace? The owner of this item said that the real item came from your hands, but it was confused with a fake. Even craftsmen can't see the key points, I wonder if the old man can help me take a look?"

As he spoke, he motioned to the female officer beside him to hand over the two pieces of jade pendant and stepped forward.

"It is an honor for the grassroots to serve the empress."

After speaking, the shopkeeper of Min Yuzhai took the two jade pendants, and with just one glance, he picked up one of them, looked around the field, and then his eyes fell on Liu Muzhi.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he handed the jade pendant in front of Liu Muzhi, and said: "My guest, this item was made by you six years ago with Caomin, please take it well, and don't confuse it with the other one .”

Liu Muzhi triumphantly took the jade pendant and looked at Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips, her expression unchanged.

Chu Zhengyue gave Min Yuzhai an anecdote with a sideways look, and the shopkeeper's eyelids slightly lowered, hiding the momentary meeting of eyes.

But the female officer beside Empress Mingyao changed her expression, and then she held the remaining one tightly and walked to Empress Mingyao and whispered a few words into her ear.

Empress Mingyao nodded, then raised her head and said loudly: "Come here, take Liu Muzhi, a traitorous official, to this palace!"

　Min Yu Zhai is the shop that prevented Liang Wangyin from the previous article. I don’t know if you remember it. A Yao also met a bullied scholar by chance. Does anyone remember his name?
